say it best.
“I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hands on learning, clear tuition and support was just what I needed. I set up my business almost immediately and now run a very busy, one on one, grooming salon in Harrogate.”
“Nicky changed my life! I was in a boring desk job, my kids are getting older and don't need me so much and I'm 40 next year so I decided it was time for a change.”
“It was a really detailed, informative course and a great experience. I now feel confident enough to begin grooming Heidi. Nicky went above and beyond for us. I can't recommend her enough.”
“I have just finished the 10 week intensive course and it has been the best thing I've done. I'm 61 years old, have no experience at all of grooming dogs and from the first time I walked into the salon Nikki made me feel so welcome.”
“I have just completed the Level 3 Intensive Dog Grooming Course with Nicky at Leeds Dog Grooming Academy, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to train with her.”
“I have recently completed the 10 week dog grooming course with Nicky and I can't recommend it enough! Nicky created such a lovely welcoming environment. I really enjoyed going every Saturday! Everything was very hands on from the start.”
“This was such an amazing experience for me from start to finish! I felt so welcomed and at ease. Everything was broken down from the various grooming tools to use, products, sterilising equipment, managing difficult, older, nervous dogs and the fail safe grooming techniques!”
“Nicky provided a friendly, welcoming environment from day one and whilst keeping it professional became not only a teacher, but a friend. I learnt so much more than I expected and enjoyed every day of it.”
“Just finished a 10 week intense Grooming Course. I had never done any kind of dog grooming before. We had dogs from the onset and each week we worked with different dogs. Highly recommend Nicky and Leeds Dog Grooming Academy.”
“I have recently just completed the intense dog grooming course with Nicky and it was the BEST decision I ever made. Thinking time and time again should I do this? I'm so glad I did and thankfully it was through Leeds Grooming Academy.”
“Nicky is a fantastic tutor. From start to finish she has been amazing. Would 100% recommend the course. Even after the course has finished she is only a call away for any info or advice.”
“Nicky is the best teacher I have ever experienced. I'm 55 and retrained into a new career. She is patient, trusting and supportive, with the added bonus of flexibility and just being a genuinely lovely person.”
“Absolutely fantastic course! I came on day one with no experience, a bag of nerves and not knowing how to hold a pair of scissors. Nicky quickly turned this around for me.”
“As a 2nd team member of our family business now successfully passed through the amazing teachings of Nicky and her brilliant 'Leeds dog grooming academy', I can't thank the teaching methods, patience and understanding enough.”
“I recently completed Dog Grooming Level 3 intense course and highly recommend it to anyone who wish to become a professional dog groomer. Nicky is an amazing professional at her job! I am very grateful for the amazing experience and all the knowledge she passed to me.”

Thank you again, and I look forward to meeting you and your pet.
Care & Attention
Grooming your pet is an important part of their health, hygiene, and overall well-being. It makes your pet look better, and it makes them feel better.
A routine grooming also allows your dog groomer to examine your pet’s coat, teeth, eyes, ears and nails for health problems.
